Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

I've played over 70 games online & 25 games offline and I'll have to say, the 3-pt needs to be toned down. It reminds me of 2k9 & 2k10. I choose to attempt my threes with the right players. As of my opponents they tend to just jack up threes as soon as they walk up the court. It's Nutz!

Off topic# 1 - Rebounding is pathetic in this game, especially the offensive rebounding. CPU gets everything even with a great box out. Majority of the missed threes are then rebounded by the offense & then kicked out for A-NOTHER(Chris Smoove voice) 3pt shot.

If they can have the settings like 2k11, i'm set. It was more balanced and gamers chose to shoot more smarter instead of jacking up a 3 to save their lives.

Off topic#2 - No Lead is safe. A gamer would be down by 12-15 points but with turnovers, missed shots and consecutive 3's on the other end, your lead is now a 2 possession game or a tie. The 3pt helps when down!

I agree to the lack of contesting 3pts. I've play a lot of gamers who choose wisely when shooting threes & others that have attempted over 20 threes.

This is more relative to online play.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

3 point shooting and steals are waaaay out of wack just for starters.

Int he top 100 ranked guys there is ONE count em ONE guy under .300 from 3. There are too many to count above .370. 6 over .400

With it being so easy to steal the ball it boils down to this. You are better off to run down and jack up any shot you can get rather than try and run a play and risk getting the ball stolen. Since the most awful shot is likely to go in anyway.


The whole game online is just broken.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

I will say that it maybe needs a slight/tad drop. Don't go back to NBA2K11 3 point shooting where you can never hit consistant 3 point shots. It is nice in NBA2K12 to get a player with a hot hand and see him go to work behind the 3 point line and light up a team because this does sometime happen in the real NBA. IDK maybe it is us or maybe its a rating's thing with the players, Im guessing that some 3 point shooters ratings maybe to high and the 3point shooting itself doesn't need to be patched at all.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

yesssss it needs to be tuned down asap and anybody that says no clearly isn't playing 2k12

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

The main problem here is not the three point success slider. The reason that so many threes are falling is the difficulty of contesting off-dribble shots. The removal of the SOD(Shot Off Dribble) Rating is what has SEVERELY handicapped defense. People are running around the 3 line waiting for their defender to give them a centimeter of space then they're jacking them up.

Please bring the SOD Rating back.

Maybe the slider should be dropped down to 49,though. Teams are able to drain close to ALL of their open looks at 50, which defeats the purpose of working for shots closer to the basket.

I still believe that most of the problems with excessive three point scoring can be attributed to bad defense. Guarding a three point threat without properly contesting their shots or allowing the CPU to guard them is a recipe for disaster. I have stepped up my three point defense, but it is kind of ridiculous that I have to chase people towards that basket almost every game because they know that the input lag and lack of SOD rating gives them a huge advantage offensively on the perimeter.

Please do not drop the slider lower than 50, lest you desire to handicap people who actually get good looks from behind the arc.

1. Thanks for reading.
2. Allow SOD ratings to affect the game.
3. Fix the input lag.
4. Have a nice day.

Edit: One more thing. It is okay for people to make SOME contested threes. Lighten up people.

Knighttime24 maybe on to something there.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

It just needs a slight drop, to be honest with you.

There are other issues causing some inconsistencies but in terms of 3pt%, the numbers are spot on if you play a game with a long quarter length.

Early on, shot success is highly indicative of player timing. The %'s even out over the course of a 48 mins. game. If you're not playing 48 mins., then you're going to see higher numbers. That would explain why you're not seeing what others are mentioning.

Live 10 had a very similar problem.

i agree with this. If anything only a slight drop in open 3 point percentage.

Shots off an active dribble don't apply here. You can just lightly move the stick to get in position for a three and if the defender doesn't put their hand up, the game thinks the shot is uncontested.

Plus, you can dribble around, stop and shoot for a slight split seconde and it is not a "shot off the dribble." If you pay close attention to the animations you'll see what I mean.

Just a heads up. It's always been this way.

Good shots still go in when you lower it to 47. It's just obvious there is something going on with 3pts %ages as it is.

Funny you said that with a Knicks Avi. I played someone who bombed all day with Melo. He made like 7 out of 22. Two of them were in grill. 3 of his misses were dunked home hard by Amare. It does seem like 3 point misses are hot on the offensive boards.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

Off-line...I just want to be able to contest three's better!!! Too much sagging (help) defense leaving people like Del Curry wide open (especially in corners)?!? That wouldn't happen in real life. I don't think the 3 pt % needs adjusting, I think the AI defense needs to be improved to not allow 18 attempts by the cpu in 5 minute quarters!!! They are wide open looks, I can't blame them for taking them, but i happens a bit too frequently with default settings as they are, in my opinion.

happens off line too..


Another thing is that there are too many player who have high assisted scoring percentages in real life that have high shoot off the dribble raings ( its hidden but can be seen)

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

offline-quickgame. franchise,season
-yes they need to be toned down.
-teams are too quick to take the 3 if they are left open. it doesnt matter if they are great shooters or poor shooters.
the amount of threes for alot of teams seem to be on athe higside as well regardless if they are makes or misses.
-Too many players have the 3 point icon.
-percentages at default sim,casual, seem to hover around 45-55%.

Summed up well..... I'm sick of the CPU knocking down 60% from deep....
